FARM LABOR.
The employment of farm laborers is
always a difficult task, especially if the
farmer himself is away from home a
considerable portion of the time, for
then he wants both a faithful and an
intelligent man, one who can be made
10 take an interest in the farm. and one
who knows enough 10 take the lead
when his master is away; such men are
not plenty, but they can be found, vet
as arule when found they are engaged,
because when farmer finds such a
man he Is very likely to keep him year
after year. \ man who Is anything
near what he ought to be Is better the
second than he is the first year, because
he better understands the want of his
master, and also better understands the
condition and wants AT the farm. Ii is
poor policy To changefarm laborers un-
less there is a good cause for it, There
IS. however, one class of men who will
10 iir-t-rate the first year, quite indiffer-
emily the second year. and be an in
tolerable nuisance the third year; such
men need to change places every wear.
The farmer who expects to get first
class laborerS and keep them many
years should pay them promptly every
week If they desire it; and never let a
month slip BY without settlement:
better hire the money to 30 this than
to make the men wait. 1t is a good
rule 10 adopt To Away, pay n work
man what money he asks for if il is due
him. \ farmer who does this will al
WAYS be able To get men at less price
than can those who are never ready to
pay. and viii keep their men out of
their money until the md of the year
